Collierville police officer faces domestic violence charge

A Collierville police officer is suspended without pay after he was charged with domestic violence in connection with an argument at his Bartlett home.

James Dood, 45, was arrested in the early morning hours of Dec. 28 after an incident with his wife, Lori Dood, a dispatcher for the Germantown Police Department. According to police reports, James Dood came home “heavily intoxicated making … threatening and derogatory statements directed at (his wife).”

Police reports state Lori Dood sustained bruises on her arms, wrists and buttocks in the incident, and once Bartlett officers determined the husband was the primary aggressor in the matter, he was arrested.
